This excursion winds through the paths of the west side of Etna, the less anthropized

and the most suitable for those who have a great desire to walk ! Crossing the forest we will reach the area of the last lateral eruption that in 1974 affected this side, the lateral
craters called Monti De Fiore. From there it will be possible to appreciate the volcanic landscapes that

Etna gives, with the various other side cones of different eras and lava flows that, in the course of history, have become "wide" in the woods, painting a unique setting where the dynamism of the
volcano shows itself with all its charm irrepressible.

We will continue with the visit of lava caves and monumental trees, escaped for centuries to the blind fury of volcanic activities

etna NORD EST

link to Italian page

Our excursion will start from the so-called "eruptive theater" of 2002.

We will begin with the visit of the craters formed in those years from which the casting that destroyed the area of Piano Provenzana started.

Our day will continue with the crossing of "lunar" landscapes, made of ancient craters and black lava flows, we will surprise the sudden change of places, from thick beech forests to
desolate skiing. Our excursion will take us to one of the most famous caves of Etna, the "Grotta dei Lamponi", an example of lava tunnel. We will spend the whole day immersed in the
nature of Etna, and our eyes can range from the summit of Etna, to the coasts of southern Italy and the Aeolian Islands.
